If adding rice, stir it in with an additional 2 cups of water. Bring the soup to a boil.
Lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken breasts. Allow the soup to continue simmering to fully cook the rice, another 10-15 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes, then shred with two forks.
